samiya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samiya, and I have a true passion for caring for children and helping them grow in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with over three years of experience working with children of different ages and abilities through babysitting and behavioral therapy. I also have experience as a Mental Health Technician (MHT), which has strengthened my communication, patience, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I’m currently pursuing my degree in psychology, which has given me an even deeper understanding of child development and positive behavior support. I enjoy planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and educational activities that keep children entertained while encouraging learning and creativity. I’m also happy to help with homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changes, light housekeeping, and pet care. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they can trust, so I always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents, and I treat every child with kindness, respect, and individualized attention. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel happy, confident, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands.

Selene $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 19 and a mom to a 5-month-old baby boy. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience from helping care for my four younger siblings, including overnight care, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and responsibilities. I’m experienced with feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and bathing, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and caring environment for children. I’m patient, reliable, and friendly, and while I can be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly and build strong, trusting connections. I also have experience working in a nursing home setting, which has given me skills in supporting others with care, patience, and respect. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, and small errands to make things easier for families. I’m available for local, in-home opportunities and am reliable with transportation within my area. I may also be open to bringing my baby along if a family is comfortable, as it can provide a positive and social environment for both children. I take pride in being dependable and someone families can trust, and I’d love to help make your day a little easier.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
